Synopsis ~

Kethan, heir to the throne of Car do Prawn in the ancient land of Arvon. But his cousin Maughus was jealous and hated him, and Ursilla, his mother’s evil Wise Woman, had already begun to tamper with his destiny. One day Kethan is given a gift brought by the traveler Ibycus, a belt of incredible beauty possessing great powers. As it entices him, it becomes an obsession. It holds transformation powers that Kethan must figure out to control, for from this moment on, Kethan’s future was in other hands – and his body in a strange new shape.
